REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
It is advisable to start diagnosing a malfunction of the SHARP LC-20V1RU-BK TV, like all others, with an external examination of possible changes, both external and internal elements. Visible damage to elements can sometimes suggest further directions for finding a defect before starting the necessary measurements. Carbonized paint on the upper layer of resistors, electrolytic capacitors of rectifier filters swollen after boiling, cracked soldering at the terminals of heating elements or transformers can often suggest the cause of the defect and possible consequences.
Sometimes the SHARP LC-20V1RU-BK TV simply does not turn on. No control lights on the front panel are lit or blinking, the TV does not respond to the remote control and does not make any sounds or any signs of life when turned on. The most likely cause of the malfunction is the failure of the ETL-XPC-204T CEF279A Common Power Module. If the mains fuse is broken in the power supply, in most cases a breakdown of the power switch is detected, which can be integrated with the PWM controller, or a separate field-effect transistor can be used. The rectifier bridge diodes and the electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter should also be checked.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch of the flyback converter of the power supply module can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor cells or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of the PWM controller chip STRW6765, LA5779 or breakage of the resistors in its bundle.
If the power module uses an active KKM circuit (power factor control), troubleshooting is somewhat more complicated.
If there is no image when you turn on the SHARP LC-20V1RU-BK, or it appears for a second and disappears completely, but there is sound, most likely either the backlight or their power converter (inverter) are faulty. It is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers in the general power supply unit.
Often, attempts to repair the CEF279A ETL-XPC-204T inverter are hampered by the fact that the diagnosis of the malfunction is complicated by the operation of its protection, which is designed to turn off the inverter in emergency conditions - when the lamps are depressurized, breaks or short circuits in high-voltage connections and other emergency situations. Lock protection to localize the defect is popular among repairmen.
In such cases, the risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter is most likely, and special care is required during work, and after their completion, it is necessary to restore the protection circuit for further safe operation of the TV by the owner in normal mode.
Repair of the CMF102B 4 motherboard must begin with the diagnosis and verification of all linear stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the TAFV-W323D tuner may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals, as well as the power supply of varicaps (30-33V).
We recommend the owners of the LC-20V1RU-BK TV for repair only to qualified specialists with experience! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to serious negative consequences!
